Bonding was carried out at 1150 °C for holding times of 60 and 90 min followed by water quenching. At the bonding time of 60 min, Cu remained at the bond region resulting in an unstable liquid/solid interface with a sinusoidal microstructure. Isothermal solidification completed at the holding time of 90 min. Unidirectional solidification was observed from the stainless steel side toward the low carbon manganese steel and abnormal grain growth of stainless steel was seen at the bond region due to temperature gradient which originated from different electrical properties of the parent alloys. Joints made at the bonding time of 90 min were homogenized at 730 °C for 75 min and quenched in water... 

Heavy metal removal from water and wastewater was investigated by using raw and modified diatomite from Iranian mines. Modification of diatomite was done by impregnating the diatomite surface with 0.35 g of manganese oxide in one gram of diatomite. This modified diatomite was named Mn-Diatomite. The surface area measurements for Mn-diatomite showed a 2.2 fold increase, hence higher removal capacity for the heavy metals. The results of the removal showed an increase in adsorption capacity which was for Pb2+ about 40 mg/g, for Ni 2+ about 34mg/g and for Cu2+ about 33mg/g. The filtration quality of diatomite was significantly enhanced with surface modification by manganese oxide  

A polymeric manganese(II) complex with the general formula [Mn(O 2CCH2NH2CH2CO2) 2(H2O)2]n from reaction of iminodiacetatic acid and manganese(II) perchlorate under nitrogen in water, was synthesized and characterized. The structure of the complex was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR and UV-vis spectra. This complex exhibited excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for oxidation of various alcohols and sulfides to the corresponding aldehydes/ketone and sulfoxides using urea hydrogen peroxide and oxone (2KHSO 5·KHSO4·K2SO4), respectively, as oxidants under air at room temperature. The easy preparation, mild reaction conditions, high yields of the... 

Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles, Zn1−xMnxO, were synthesised by a polyethylene glycol (PEG) sol–gel method and the physicochemical properties of compounds were characterised by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The catalytic degradation of an organic dye, methylene blue (MB), in the presence of Zn1−xMnxO as the catalyst and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the oxidant at room temperature in water has been studied. Effects of oxidant, catalyst amount, catalyst composition, pH value of the solution and an OH-radical...
